Another scam.

Post by Kersh »

It's ok though, they don't have any criminal records and the company is a leading oilfield services provider (in Bad Gastein :?: :roll: ) who don't have an office in London.

Here's the e-mail:

---------------------

That's a really delicious one, to savour slowly.

I particularly like rentage and Dear Sir/Ma (very Nigerian, although, of course, Mma Ramotswe is from Botswana)
and 4 weeks,to be precise in 2 forthnights is rather cute.

Criminal records? That's another one for our booking form - great idea. In fact, almost irresistible not to fax him a fairly complicated booking form to complete.
